EX-10.201st Page of 19TOCTopPreviousNextBottomJust 1st
 

EXHIBIT 10.20 HANOVER COMPRESSOR COMPANY STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN ARTICLE I The Plan 1.1 Name. This plan shall be known as the "Hanover Compressor Company Stock Compensation Plan" (the "Plan"). 1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the growth and general prosperity of Hanover Compressor Company, a Texas corporation (the "Company"), by permitting the Company to grant to its Directors, Officers, Employees and Advisors options to purchase Common Stock of the Company (the "Options"). The Plan is designed to help the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates attract and retain superior personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide Directors, Officers, Employees and Advisors with an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company. The Company intends that Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be nonstatutory options and will not be classified as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 1.3 Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective upon the Effective Date. 1.4 Eligibility to Participate. Any Director, Officer, Employee or Advisor shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Committee may grant Options to a Director, Officer, Employee or Advisor in accordance with such determinations as the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion shall make.
EX-10.202nd Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 2nd
1.5 Shares Subject to the Plan. The shares available for issuance upon exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall be shares of Common Stock (the "Plan Shares"). 1.6 Maximum Number of Plan Shares. Subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2, and subject to any additional restrictions elsewhere in the Plan, the maximum number of Plan Shares that may be issued and sold hereunder shall be equal to 15% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding, computed on a fully diluted basis and including the unissued Plan Shares, at the time of the grant of an Option. 1.7 Options Granted Under Plan. Plan Shares with respect to which an Option shall have been exercised shall not again be available for grant hereunder. If Options terminate for any reason without being wholly exercised, new Options may be granted hereunder covering the number of Plan Shares to which such Option termination relates. 1.8 Conditions Precedent. The Company shall not issue or deliver any Option Agreement or any certificate for Plan Shares pursuant to the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) The admission of the Plan Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed, unless the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such listing is neither necessary nor advisable; (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of the Plan Shares under any federal or state -2-
EX-10.203rd Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body that the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable; and (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable. 1.9 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. During the term of the Plan, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Plan as to the number of Plan Shares. In addition, the Company will from time to time, as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Plan, seek or obtain from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction any requisite authority that is necessary to issue Plan Shares hereunder. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Plan Shares shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the non-issuance of Plan Shares as to which the requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 1.10 Tax Withholding. (a) Condition Precedent. The issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of any Options under the Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee shall -3-
EX-10.204th Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
determine, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities under any state or federal law is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of the Options, then the issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of the Options shall not be effective unless the withholding shall have been effected or obtained in a manner acceptable to the Committee. (b) Manner of Satisfying Withholding Obligation. When a Director, Officer, Employee or Advisor participating in the Plan is required to pay to the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with the exercise of an Option, subject to Section 1.10(c), such individual may satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to (i) have the Company withhold a portion of the Plan Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option and having a Fair Market Value on the date the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date") equal to the amount required to be withheld or (ii) deliver to the Company shares of Common Stock already owned and having a Fair Market Value on the Tax Date equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount to be withheld shall be the minimum amount that is required to be withheld under applicable federal and state income tax laws; provided, however, in the event a request is made by a Director, Officer, Employee or Advisor, the amount to be withheld shall be the approximate -4-
EX-10.205th Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
amount of federal and state income taxes that will be incurred by such Director, Officer, Employee or Advisor with respect to such issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of Options under the Plan. (c) Special Rules for Use of Stock. An election to have Plan Shares or other shares of Common Stock withheld or delivered out of already-owned Common Stock for this purpose will be subject to the following restrictions: (i) must be made prior to the Tax Date, and (ii) will be irrevocable. ARTICLE II Administration 2.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole discretion and authority to determine the Directors, Officers, Employees and Advisors to whom and the time or times at which Options may be granted and the number of Plan Shares to be subject to each Option. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall also have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the details and provisions of each Option Agreement and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan. 2.2 Appointment of Committee. The Committee shall be appointed by the Board and shall initially consist of the members of the Board. The Board may remove any Committee member with or without cause and appoint successor or additional Committee members at any time. -5-

2.3 Majority Rule; Unanimous Written Consent.

Meetings of the Committee may take place by telephone conference call. 2.4 Company Assistance. The Company shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters relating to Directors, Officers, Employees and Advisors, their employment, death, retirement, disability, or other termination of employment, and such other pertinent facts as the Committee may require. The Company shall furnish the Committee with such clerical and other assistance as is necessary in the performance of its duties. ARTICLE III Stock Options 3.1 Option Terms and Conditions.

Each Optionee receiving Options pursuant to this Article shall be subject to the restriction that during the term of the Option Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, he or she will not compete with any business of the Company, and will not disclose to persons outside the Company confidential information concerning the Company without the Company's consent. 3.6 Exercise of Options. (a) Method of Exercise. Each Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement pursuant to which the Option was granted.

If any portion of the purchase price or a note given at the time of exercise is paid in shares of Common Stock, those shares shall be valued at the then Fair Market Value. 3.7 Written Notice Required.

Further, each Optionee shall consent to the imposition of a legend on the certificate representing the Plan Shares issued upon the exercise of the Option restricting their transferability as required by law or by this Section. 3.9 Employment of Participant or Optionee.
